In my opinion, China is playing a complex strategic game.
Technical standards are a very powerful tool of influence in today's world. In some neighboring countries, even the railway tracks have different widths. Through the establishment of certain technical standards, countries fight for their influence.
Probably, China plans to draw half of the countries of the world into its sphere of influence.
And in this half of the world there will be such phenomena as social rating, closed Internet, censorship and a ban on freedom of speech.
There are plenty of treasonous investards and politicans in the west who would gladly have us all live under a Chinese social credit system and censorship etc if they made a dime from it.The west is becoming more like China everyday when you see the types of censorship and social controls being attempted by our own political classes.Only the super rich will be able to live in countries or regions outside of these invasive technocratic systems in the future.
